Please read over the rules and information posts before applying in order to minimize confusion.

Players are limited to five characters.

Samples can be written in first or third person.

Name: Your name or preferred handle, whatever you want us to call you..
Personal Journal:
Contact Info: Any other way of contacting you. IM screen names, e-mail address, etc.

Character Name: If they'll start out remembering a name other than their first name, please make a note of it.
Character Series: Toss a link to a general overview of the canon. Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted! 
Background: Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. A combination of this and the above canon overview should give a good explanation. Given the nature of the game, this is not only necessary, but we will require you to write something yourself if there's no explanatory source.
Point in Canon: When are you taking your character from?
Personality: The more detailed here, the better. This lets us get a good feel for the character. Please try to back up your details with canon examples when you're getting past their basic character and more in-depth. Generally, we want to see at least four good-sized paragraphs.
Sample Entry: Please write as if you've already been accepted and playing for some time. Introduction posts of "what is this where am I what is this crazy place" are likely to be shot down if there's nothing else there. Musebox posts will be acceptable, posts at testrun-box are preferred, Dear Mun is not acceptable.

VILLAIN APPS:

Villain apps are currently OPEN.

There is a limit of three villains in the game at one time. There is currently one villain slot available.

Playing a villain will not count against your five character limit.

Be sure to note somewhere in the title of your app that you’re apping into a villain slot.

For more information on villains, see this page.

Character Name:
Character Series: Toss a link to a general overview of the canon. Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted!
Background: Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. If none exists, a bare-bones overview will do.
Point in Canon: When are you taking your character from?
Personality: This doesn’t have to be as detailed as an app for a normal character would be, but it still has to demonstrate an understanding of your character and how they operate. Three solid paragraphs is a good estimate of what we’re looking for.
Plans: You don’t have to outline a whole plot right here and now, just give us an idea of why you’ve chosen to app this character as a villain, and what sort of things you have in mind for them to do to antagonize the other characters.
Sample Entry: Please write as if you've already been accepted and playing for some time.

Character Name: Tatsuma Sakamoto
Character Series: Gintama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintama)
Background: Wikipedia blurb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gin_Tama_characters#Tatsuma_Sakamoto)

Personality: Like so many young men of the time, Sakamoto went to war against the Amanto when they invaded Earth. This of course was towards the end of the war but not before the most gruesome part. He was a part of the Jouishishi, the same faction as Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi, and helped them build up the Joui's reputation into a faction that the human race could trust rather than being full of traitors. During the war, he made a name for himself as being a master swordsman and was remembered for being a great tactical fighter. But at the same time, he grew tired of watching his comrades and friends die. In the last days of the war, Sakamoto had decided that he wasn't cut out for a life that would amount to nothing after the war was over. He had bigger plans for what he wanted to do with his life, namely going into space and making his dreams of traveling the cosmos a reality. He told Gintoki that instead of choosing sides he would take a more neutral stance when it came to dealing with the Amanto and be the link that would connect the them with the humans. A day or so after opening up to Gintoki, Sakamoto said goodbye to everyone and disappeared. In the years that followed, Sakamoto worked on creating one of the biggest and most successful trading fleets in the galaxy, the Kaientai.

He resurfaced in Gintoki's life abruptly after Sadaharu singled him out at the termanal. Of course, being the idiot that he is, he thought the headache was from being hung over and the blood coming out of his head was tomato juice. So he didn't think or realize that there was something else wrong entirely. After this incident he stumbled off to board the ship, bleeding, and with the giant dog still attached to his head. He then reappeared no worse for wear (other than having a dog stuck to his head and a bad case of motion sickness) when he knocked out a hijacker with a door. Since the day he accidentally crash landed the ship that Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi, and him were on into a desert planet and forcing the the Kaientai to save him and the other passengers, he has popped up every now and then. Though he's mostly exiled to a life in the openings and endings of the series; the very place where Gintoki thinks he should stay forever.

Sakamoto is an airhead, a natural-born idiot if you will. He tries to look on the bright side of life, but at the same time he pushes the positive thinking limit. That's not to say that he isn't incapable of making snarky remarks from time to time, but he rather stay upbeat. There's also a hidden side to this man only known to his co-workers and former comrades. When he's not being a total space cadet he quickly takes charge in any situation and is ready to sacrifice himself to save others. It's rumored that he knows all there is to know about amanto technology, and has been seen dismantling an gun and putting it back together as a gag gun homing device. However, after these burst of seriousness are done and the threat or the sale has been taken care of, he reverts back to his default state. One must also wonder if he's actually as dumb as he seems or he's just obfuscating stupidity to get a rise out of people.

Like all great space captains, Sakamoto is a playboy. He's probably contracted every curable space STD known to man though still prefers Earth women. He obsesses over Oryo, a hostess that works at the same Club Smile. who he makes the effort to visit every time he visits Earth to her annoyance. He also hits on almost every pretty woman he happens to see while on leave. Most of the time, his endeavors are most often met with a quick "NO THANK YOU!" and a sometimes a swift knee to the crotch or cold water dumped on him. Because of this behavior of his, he easily finds himself on the bad side of women everywhere. Special mention goes to his second in command, Mutsu, who finds his constant womanizing, running away, getting lost, getting drunk, getting lost again, and the fact that he's still breathing to be very, very irritating.

He believes that it's bad manners to forget how to spell and pronounce someone's name, and yet at the same time Sakamoto himself forgets Gintoki's name often. Though it's most likely an unwanted nickname seeing as how he's been shown capable of remembering his name during serious moments.

Sample Entry: Hello? Hello? If anyone can hear me I just wanted to let everyone know that exiting animals exist in these ruins. They're quite human like in appearance but at the same time...wait a minute aren't these those Amanto? Ahahaha, they do sort of look like them...I wonder what they're doing here of all places?

Ahahaha I guess there's no use in wondering why they're here...now what did I come out here for again? I shouldn't have drank too much last night...I feel like I'm floating. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha--

--hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....
